AMERICAN BOOKS.
A Large Increase In the Number OF Vol.
umes Published Last year.

Up to the year 1886 the greatest
number of books published in the
United States in any twelve months
was 4,088. In 1885 the total, as re-
corded by the Publishers Weekly, was
4,030 Last year the record suddenly
rose to 1876, gain of GAG over the
like period just preceding, and 58S over
any former year. This is an increase,
as compared with the greatest previous
total, of more than IA per cent, gain
which will compare favorably with the
increase in almost any other field of
American industry or activity. By
classes of books the figures show some
remarkable. differences, and we repro
duce the following table:

It will be observed that in theology
and religion there was an actual loss
of about II. 5 per cent, and in medical
science and hygiene of about six per
cent. This would appear to indicate
that intellectual activity is running at
present less strongly than heretofore
toward the care of the body and the
soul alike, especially since there was a
very small gain in the literature OF
social and political science and a loss
of twenty-eight per cent. in the number
of new works on mental and moral phi
losophy. And we seem to be pretty
well filled up with ostensibly amusing
books. In the publishers classification
the departments of 'humor and SATIRE
and "sport and amussments'' barely
held their own. Description and travel
were a shade hess written about than
the previous year, and in spite of the
great impetus given to biography and
autobiography by "Gen. Grants Mem
oirs'' in both years this class of books
fell off nearly eleven per cent. 1t will
be noticed at once that the most con-
spicious and important gains were
in fiction, literary history and
miscellany, juvenile books, education
and language, poetry and the drama,
history, physical and mathematical
science. AS many of the OBJ
servers of the signs of the
tines would have predicted. one OF
the greatest proportionate gains was in
the last department. where it was
nearly 81 per cent, but what do the
enthusiastic devotees of science, with
their contempt for imaginative and
fanciful work, say to the wonderful in
crease in the department of literary
history and miscellany? Here we find
a gain of 1852 per cent, and nearly half
the whole increase of 1886 over 1885.
Mr.. Lowell and others who lament the
skepticism of the age, in a literary
sense, and it's reputed tendency to value
facts in writing too much and form too
little, surely ought to find comfort in
these figures, especially since poetry
and the drama gained 2S.6 per cent
ONCI 1CCO' Lie CI0itS0 LII lCUlOn was
1916 per cent, or a trife greater than
the average net increase of all taken
together, and in 1886 the number of
works of fiction issued in this country
was a little more than % per
cent. of the grand total In most
circulating public libraries the proper
ton of works of fiction drawn is more
than twice as great and in some cases
three times as great as this percentage,
and it is fair to infer that fiction is much
more popular with those who read
books than with those who make them.
1t is probable, however, that the pro-
portion of solid matter, if it could be
determined, in books read out of indi-
vidual collections would make better
showing than public library figures

As the Ordway g. Bismarck Railroad
Company have completed their survey,
obtained right Of way, and let contract
for building the line as soon as the
weather will permit, 1t is likely that road
will be the first built into Emmons
County next summer, closely followed
by the Milwaukee s. St. Paul. The former
road is to run up through the northeast
corner of the county, its nearest point be.
ing about six miles from Williamsport.
The Milwaukee road IS heading for a
point considerably west of the Ordway
line, and it isbelieved that it will come
in over the Missouri Valley survey.
There will be two roads at least built or
building through this county by the time
our farmers harvest this years crop. If
this does not come true, every farmer in
the county is invited to call at the REC
ORD Office on or after the first of next
September, have cigar at our expense,
and point the finger of scorn at us as a
false prophet. Cut this out and remem-
Der the date.

The new judge of the supreme court of
Dakota is not Hill, tho devoted friend of

what you can if anythlng's left. His
name Is Spencer, ward politician of
New York, genial, convivial fellow (ac-
cording to the St. Paul Globs) who
knows che mysteries Of poker, can drink
Jersey lightning or Kentucky sour-mash
with any one, and can beat even our
Judge Pratt telling stories. This gentle.
man 1t. is guaged will tickle the taste of
the average South Dakotan, and be the
faithful servant of the elements which re-
joice most at Judge Church's removal
from the bench. The picture drawn of
the new carpet-bagger justihes the sus-
picion that he is almost as good lawyer
as Cleveland himself, and that he will do
even quite as we'll US if he had come from
Florida. His influence will probably be
missed in New York at the next election,
and 1t will make no impression on the
solid Republican phalanx of Dakota. OF
course the territorial Democracy are dy-
ing to congratulate the gentleman with

The Local.Option Bill.

Tribune: Mr.. Fletcher's substitute bill
for prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors, which was reported to the house
yesterday, provides for submitting the
question in any county when 200 or more
qualified voters petition for its submls-
sion. If the majority vote is against the
sale of liquors, then no liquor license
shall be granted in said county, either by
the county or any incorporated city, town
or village, Penalties are prescribed for
attempting to grant license contrary to
the bill. and also for selling, bartering or
giving away liquor where its sale is pro-
hibited; except that licensed druggists
may sell wines for sacramental purposes,
pure liquors for medicinal purposes. and
alcohol for mechanical purposes. The
bill has the merit Of being simple, and is
immeasurably important in being what
the temperance men in the legislature
propose to make law before the session
ends.

Land contests have become so numer-
GUS that a separate division is asked for
to dispose of that class of business. On
the 18th ult. the secretary of the interior
transmitted to congress supplemental estl.
mates, requesting that for the better ad-
minlstration of the land Office provision
be made in the sundry civil bill for one
additional chief of division of the board
of review, at q salary of $4,000; and that
a new division, to be known as the con-
test division, be created, to be composed
of one chief. at salary of $4,000, and
six members, at salary of $4,000. A
letter from Commissioner Sparks was
transmitted with the estimates in which
he shows the necessity of both these d.
visions. He says that at the end of the
fiscal year 12,770 contests remained un-
acted upon by the Office because of mad
equate clerical force. Those who have
contests pending will learn from this cir
cumstance why their cases have not re-
ceived more speedy attention.-LEx.
